Unrequited love is the worst. It never quenches your thirst. When you love someone the most, but they treat you like a ghost. You don't exist to them, even if they're your gem. It hurts your heart and tears you apart. _________________________________________ She loves him and he loves another, but he loves her too. He loves her and she loves another, but perhaps he is wrong. Maybe he's the one she actually loves. So, who does she love more? Mahendra or Vikram?

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Subhadra was late to her friend's wedding. Latha had needed a last minute saree and of course Subhadra had jumped at the opportunity.

While she had been walking, after buying the saree, a car had splashed mud on her new lehenga and the driver had the audacity to scold her in return. She had been too shocked to scold him back, so she only said the only thing she could think of at that time.

"Inge Mande Sooye Naaye!" Subhadra herself didn't know what it meant, but it sounded offensive and to her great delight, the man looked offended as well.

So basically, she was late because of that arrogant car driver.

She took off into a sprint to reach the function hall and just to her luck, she tripped on a stone and nearly fell flat on her face. She looked here and there to check if anyone saw that and resumed her run.

She was only focused on reaching the place, and just like that, she collided into someone and fell down for real this time.

"Fuck." He cursed.

It wasn't his fault. She wasn't watching where she was going.

"Here." Subhadra took his hand and got up.

"Sorry." She apologized sheepishly and took a good look at his face.

"Don't apologize. Are you hurt?" His voice was smooth and he had a look of concern on his face, trying to check for injuries.

"I'm fine. Really."

"Alright." He smiled and she was taken aback. He looked so....pretty. There was no other way to describe his long lashes, straight nose and plush lips.

They started walking side by side.

"Who invited you?" Immediately realizing the question sounded rude, she amended her question.

"I mean from who's side are you attending the wedding?"

"The groom is my childhood friend."

"And you're late because...? If you don't mind me asking?"

"Because I crashed into a beautiful lady."

She laughed. "Does this line always work Romeo?"

"If it impressed you, then yes. If not, then no. Vikram, by the way. Vikram Satkar."

He held out his hand for her to shake.

"Subhadra Krishnan."

"Pretty name. Classical."

"Thank you." They shook hands, lingering for a few second longer, but she didn't think too much of it.

Finally, they reached the function hall.

"So...." He looked at her.

"So....?" She looked at him with an arched brow.

"See you in the marriage."

They both parted ways. Vikram entered the groom's room and Subhadra entered the bride's room.

She was ambushed as soon as she stepped past the threshold.

"I'm going to kill you." Hands wrapped around her neck and lightly squeezed.

Subhadra shrieked.

"Someone please get this crazy lady off me!"

Her neck was released and Subhadra couldn't help, but laugh.

"Who would've thought sweet, kind Latha would turn into a bridezilla."

The ladies in the room laughed.

"I'll show you bridezilla Subhadra. Show me the saree."

Subhadra took the Kanchipuram silk saree out of the bag and put it on her friend's shoulder.

"Subha....it's beautiful." The red and yellow saree looked so good on her. The bottom of the saree had a thick gold border and the rest of the saree was covered in a gold fern leaf pattern.

"You got this last minute?" Latha asked her.

Subhadra flicked her hair over her shoulder.

"I have my sources bridezilla. I don't kiss and tell, but it's new. Don't worry about that."

Her friend rolled her eyes.

"Of course I know it's new. Help me put it on."

Latha took out a gold saree blouse that was heavily embroidered, which would match perfectly with the saree.

"Why did you need it at the last minute? What happened to your other saree? The one you were supposed to wear?"

Latha started undressing.

"Charlie thought my saree was a chew toy and she ripped it to shreds."

Said Border Collie lay against the far wall, head between her paws. Subhadra couldn't help but laugh. Charlie was a hellion.

"Did that lady put you in a timeout baby?" Subhadra's baby talking voice only came out with dogs.

Charlie started furiously wagging her tail as she started petting her.

"She's getting spoiled because of you Subha." Latha tsked.

"Oh please. As if you can resist this."

With a final scratch behind her ears, Subhadra got up to help Latha. It took nearly two hours for Latha's hair and makeup to get done.

"Latha, do you know all of Aryan's friends?" Aryan was her fianceè.

"I know most of them. Why?"

"Do you know Vikram?"

Latha gave her full attention to her now and wiggled her brows.

"He's caught your interest, hasn't he?"

"Well, not really. I'm just curious is all. I bumped into him outside. Speaking of which, the whole reason I'm late is because of some asshole who splashed mud on me."

"I forgot the fact you were late darling. The saree took my breath away."

"Hurry up then. Aryan can't wait any longer."

"He's waited years for me. I'm sure he can wait for a few more hours."

Subhadra laughed. "You're such a brat."

The marriage went by smoothly, with lots of fun added to it. Subhadra caught eyes with Vikram many times and she couldn't help, but smile every time she saw him.

When she saw him alone, she decided to approach him.

"How many other girls did Mr. Romeo meet today?"

He frowned. "Mr. Romeo had eyes for only one woman. Romeo only has eyes for Juliet. Vikram only has eyes for Subhadra."

She giggled at that.

"You're a smooth talker."

"You would be the first person to say that."

"So did I earn your number?"

Subhadra thought about it.

"You earned my I*******m."

"Damn. It's fine. I*******m will do....for now." He winked at her and Subhadra looked around to see if anyone was observing them.

Marriages were elder women's playground in India. It was the hub for gossip. But, luckily, no one was observing them.

"Here, I'll send you a request." She told him and proceeded to do just that.

She got a notification that he accepted her request and smiled at him.

"So what do you do?" She asked him.

"First and foremost, I breathe."

"Haha. Very funny." She said sarcastically.

He laughed. "I'm an accountant. What about you?"

"Credit Analyst."

Subhadra heard Latha calling her.

"We'll keep in touch right?"

He nodded. "Of course."

Chapter 2
Two weeks of talking to Vikram, Subhadra felt good. She knew she shouldn't be happy from receiving a text from Vikram, but she couldn't help it. She couldn't remember feeling this excited...since forever.So, they decided to meet up. Subhadra arrived at the time agreed upon to the park and had to wait a few minutes for Vikram.When he arrived, they hugged each other and Subhadra looked around. Everyone was a busybody who thought other's businesses were their business, especially the nosey aunties.She didn't want anyone she knew going to her parents and tattling on her for meeting a guy. They would nag her on getting married for the umpteenth time."So let me get something cleared up. You're interested in me right?" He asked her."Yes. That's why I'm here. Are you?""Of course I am. I wouldn't be here either if I wasn't."Subhadra shrugged. "That's good then."They started walking side by side."Let's play twenty questions." She suggested.Vikram hated questions and he hated people qu

Subhadra had had enough with Vikram. He claimed to love her and she hated to admit it, but she wasn't getting enough attention from him. She felt like it wouldn't matter to him whether she texted him or not. Whether she talked to him or not.So, she stopped texting him. The first day was bearable. The second day was hard and by the third day, she couldn't take it anymore. She had to text him. So, on the fourth day, when she texted him, he asked her how her new boyfriend was. She called him."Vikram, what the hell is that supposed to mean?""It means I'm asking how your new boyfriend is.""Are you crazy? I don't have one.""Is it? Come on Subhadra. I hate liars.""Fuck you Vikram. Oh and by the way, he's fine." She huffed in anger. He was being ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous."Good." He sounded dejected and resigned."Vikram, what do you take me for? You think I have one guy per week?""You didn't talk to me in three days Subhadra. What am I supposed to think?"She deflated. "I didn

Vikram had gone to Kolkata and not a single text from him for two days. Also, she only knew he was in Kolkata through his Instagram. He couldn't even give her the courtesy of telling her.Anxiety gnawed at her insides. Did he meet Nehra. Did they hug each other? Did they kiss and make up?"Subha, why are you even worrying about him? From what I've seen and from what you've told me, he isn't worth it. You've got beauty. You've got brains. Why are you stuck with him when you can do so much better?"Subhadra twirled the straw in her drink as she listened to Latha. She knew Latha was right."But Latha, I love him.""Yes, I can understand that Subhadra, and I don't blame you. It's just that you deserve someone much better. Someone who's worthy of you. I mean if I wrote Aryan poems like you do for Vikram, he'd fly in the air and worship the land I walk on. Also, he wouldn't let me out of the bedroom.""Latha!" Subhadra laughed. She had never been intimate with Vikram and had no intention of

"This is Commander Subhadra. I need backup on Line 5.""On it Chief." As soon as she saw her father, Venkat Krishnan, jogging away, she shot a Nerf at him, hitting him square on his buttock.When he yelped and rubbed the sore spot, she burst out laughing."What was that for, you brat?""It was for being too slow, old man.""Old? You call this old?" He started flexing his non-existent muscles.Her Mom, Sangeetha came in the middle."They say I only have one child. They're wrong. I have two children, except one is a man child."Her mom poked her finger in Venkat's chest."Amma, leave Nanna alone.""Devuda." Her Mom called for God.Right then, Subhadra's phone rang. It was Vikram."Hello?""Sweetheart, I'm outside your house."Subhadra contemplated on what to say. The buildings had eyes...in the form of nosy neighbors. She didn't want her father to have a bad name in the neighborhood.But, she could tell them it was a colleague from work."Nanna, my colleague is downstairs. I'll go see w

The next day, Vikram called her multiple times, and he never did that. Calls from him were few and far between. Multiple calls? Never.So, she decided to answer the third time he called."Subhadra, I'm sorry."She rolled her eyes even though he couldn't see her."You know what Vikram? You'd say sorry to me after sticking your penis in someone else.""Subhadra, that's too far and you know it."She did know, but she didn't care. She was too hurt and she wanted to do something crazy."I'm at work. I'll call you later.""This isn't a goodbye right, Subhadra?"She softened at that. "No Vikram. It's not."They hung up and Subhadra wondered if Latha would be up for clubbing tonight. She would need to buy a dress, though, so, she decided to go shopping after work. ______________________________________Subhadra stared at the sequined dress wistfully. She really wanted it, but it wasn't her style and she would never be comfortable in wearing something that short. It was because of the society

Subhadra heard and knew the name Mahendra Varma from somewhere, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She'd been scratching her head from the past two days, wondering, wondering, where had she heard that name?She opened her Instagram account which was entirely dedicated to her poetry and she clicked on the heart button.There it was! Mahen_Vrma. She was positive it was him, so she clicked on his account. It was him. Most of his posts were about Transition. Actual photos of him were few. One was a candid shot of him looking at the sky with his shirt half open. A Rudraksh necklace hung from his neck. She was immediately intrigued, but she exited from his profile.This same guy was the very first person to read her poems. To encourage her. To comment on her poems, all good things of course. Hmm. Maybe he wasn't such a bad guy.She decided to message him through Instagram.Subha_Kr10: You!She didn't expect a reply so soon, but she got one nonetheless.Mahen_Vrma: You! You stalked

Nehra looked at the woman in front of her. Long, black hair, light brown skin, and kind, dark eyes. She was short, but so was Nehra, so she was no one to judge her.She was pretty. Was she Vikram's girlfriend? Her head hurt just thinking about it.Subhadra took both her hands in hers. She couldn't help, but like it. She acted as if she had know her since forever. It was probably because of Vikram.On one hand, Nehra felt bad for Subhadra, for her having to listen to Vikram always talk about her. But, one the other hand, Nehra felt triumph. Vikram had had a pretty, kind woman in front of him, yet he couldn't stop talking about Nehra.It was enough for Nehra to know the depth of Vikram's love for her."Nehra. You have to marry Vikram. He's going crazy without you.""Don't you love Vikram?"Subhadra smiled. "I do and I want him to be happy. He'll only ever be happy with you."Nehra thought about it. "You know it's not an issue with me. My parents would never allow it.""Is there any way

On their way to the beach, Subhadra got a call from Latha."Hello?""Subha, where are you?""Going to Digha Beach. Why?""You owe me a video call.""I'm so sorry Latha. I'll call you as soon as I'm back. I have lots to tell you.""I'll be waiting for your call."The call ended and they reached the beach.She and Nehra talked for sometime and for a second, she couldn't believe who she saw.What the hell was Vikram doing here? Moreover, how did he know she was here. There was only one explanation. Aashalatha. Nehra saw Vikram and gasped. She held on to Subhadra's arm.Subhadra nudged Nehra in his general direction. "Go. Share the great news with him."Nehra looked at her for reassurance and Subhadra gave her an encouraging smile.Subhadra felt a little bittersweet seeing them together, but it was fine. She would get over it. She saw them talking and smiling, and took it as her cue to leave.As she was walking along the shore, she wanted to do something crazy. Something wild."Subhadra

Subhadra saw Vikram and Nehra approach her and Mahendra. She saw Vikram questioningly look at Mahendra. "That's right. I forgot to introduce you all. Mahendra, this is Nehra. My friend." She winked at Nehra. Mahendra just politely smiled at Nehra. "This is Vikram...Nehra's fiancé. Vikram, this is Mahendra Varma. My friend and the owner of Transition. The club."Mahendra didn't smile at Vikram. He simply smirked at him and watched as Vikram clenched his fists. "So when are your parents meeting hers?" Subhadra asked Vikram. "I just introduced her to them through video call. Nehra gave them her parent's numbers.""Awesome. I have to go now though."Subhadra looked at all of them. "How will you go?" Mahendra asked her. "I'll just get a cab.""Nonsense. I'll drop you off. I have a car. You're okay with it right?""Of course, but only if it's no trouble for you."Mahendra shook his head, so Subhadra waved at Nehra and Vikram and followed Mahendra to his car. She observed that he di
